The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A well developed comedy stirred up with some action and romance. A can't miss surefire comedic teaming of Steve Carrell and Tina Fey as the married couple The Fosters. A modern everyday American husband and wife who have fallen into the marriage rut of same day, same time, same everything, to routine. On the spur of the moment night they decide to hit the fanciest dinner spot in the city. No reservations, no problem, they improvise and steal some other couples reservation and enjoy an incredible dinner. Here is where the fun begins as they are mistaken for another couple and craziness ensues. The writing in this film is brilliant with one liners and zany dialogue between characters. A plethora of amazing cast ensemble with Mark Wahlberg, Taraji P. Henson, James Franco, William Fichtner, Mila Kunis, Ray Liotta, Common, Jimmi Simpson, Kristen Wiig, Gal Gadot, Olivia Munn and Mark Ruffalo. It is funny, laugh out loud comedic brilliance, great editing and direction.I firmly give this a 7 out of 10 as it was good, NOT great, funny, but NOT bust a gut laughable.

Take two funny actors, and desperately find a plot to put them in that allows them to be as funny as possible. That seems to have been the brief for the folks at 20th Century Fox.And it sort of works. Just. However you wonder just how much of the film's limited success is down to just the natural comedic ability of Carell and Fey, who surely are able to make even the weakest line shine.It's nice to see Director Shawn Levy try something different, having been in the chair for the first Pink Panther reboot film and Cheaper by the Dozen.I would like to see another pairing of these actors. One that is a little stronger than this film.

Despite an all-star cast, that reads like a who's who of comedians, the much anticipated, Date Night, from Night At The Museum Director, Shawn Levy, failed to deliver in a big way. Of course there is that old saying about too many cooks in the kitchen, but that wasn't the problem here, as individually, the performances were pretty good. What I didn't like about the film, was a lazy story that hasn't only been done before, but seemed to just run around in circles. The Foster family is going through your typical dry spell as a married couple with kids, and the news of a recent friends divorce has them worried about their own relationship, so they decide to start having a regular date night again. Not wanting to wait at a fancy restaurant without a reservation, they claim to be someone else, who are very late arriving to their reserved table. The Foster's think they're just stealing a reservation, instead they are stepping into the lives of two people who are wanted by many different people for many different things, leading to the wildest night of their lives. This story had some great potential, but once again, if these writers would stop worrying about PG-13 vs. R, in regards to who will go see their films, and just let the story take off in whatever direction it's going, the film could have been so much better. Instead, the writers hold back, because they don't want a raunchy comedy, they want a date movie, and the result is a mediocre comedy that should have been so much better than it was. Date Night is good for a chuckle here and there, but otherwise, the story goes in circles, it's predictable, and it wastes the talent of a terrific cast.

Steve Carell as an actor has become a brand. Whether you like or not his kind of humour you get to watch his movie.Pure Entertainer...Thats why after watching even his "Despicable Me 2" I wanted to catch up with what i have missed in the recent past.. I came across this title read its tagline and then decided to watch it. Believe me its first time i am disappointed in him. This is way too serious and thats like you have no sweetness in sugar coz of that it tastes bland. Movie starts on a good note. A middle age couple with there kids and busy life wants to make things better in their busy lives so like their friends their marriage doesn't end. So they go to date night and as it happens impersonating someone lands them in trouble with bad people following them. It gets you interested but thats it, no more, movie loses it here and you wont get it till the end what on earth made you watch this and when is this gonna end. Steve Carell is not his usual self and thats a huge let down. He is given chance to shine as he usually does. Screenplay could have been better dialogues could have been funny. Anyways if you have a whole bit of xtra time and nothing to watch plus you are steve Carell fan then you can watch it otherwise its bit too much to digest....
